When I flew to/from Tenerife in July/August with another operator the rules were strictly enforced. I would like to hear the cabin crew's version of events. Cabin crew are not police personnel and the primary responsibility for correctly wearing a face covering rests with the individual.
Why didn't the lady who was featured on the media this morning getting her moment of fame politely mention to the adjacent passenger that they were not wearing the face covering correctly and/or mention her concerns to the cabin crew?
Did the BBC go on a "fishing expedition" to get these testimonials?

Another point which crossed my mind. From the legal standpoint is non compliance from wearing a face mask inflight a criminal offence under the terms of the ANO? I accept that it will doubtless be against the airlines' terms of conditions of carriage. But if cabin crew asked police to meet aircraft on arrival for non-compliant passenger(s) to be "dealt with" can they/would they be charged for committing an offence?
